Virus Warning.

That's the one.  It sends 'em out fast.  Nasty little program.  I am glad I
am not the only one who has bombarded with it.  Since my post it has been
sent to me at least another dozen times.  The email text says see attached
file for important information.  and then nothing....  PAIN IN THE
APPLES!!!!!!!
